    PROGRAM Speakers from around the world will present papers on the entire process of web implementation. During the 3 days of the conference, beginners and veterans can explore themes including: design & development, implementation, evaluation, site promotion, education, societal issues, research, museology and curation. Sessions, papers, panels and up-close mini-workshops explore theory and practice. The Exhibit Hall features hot tools, techniques and services. Demonstrations of museum web sites will let you meet and question designers and implementers of some of the coolest museums on the web.

    The full program for Museums and the Web 2000, including paper and demonstration abstracts and speaker biographies is available on the conference web site at http://www.archimuse.com/mw2000/sessions/. Before the conference begins, full papers will be on the web so that speakers can highlight major issues in their presentations and allow more time for active discussion.
